Recently I got the chance to sit down with actress and musician Kate Micucci to talk about her acting career, her music and… Sand castle building? Read all about it and more in this exclusive interview!

Kate Micucci is a busy bunny. There’s the TV shows, the solo music, the theatre show, the movies, the duo, the web series and the sandcastles. But I managed to find the time in my busy schedule to ask her a few questions. Read more...

Micucci who is best known for her role as Shelly on "Raising Hope" and her comedy duo "Garfunkel and Oates" with actress Riki Lindhome, plays IKEA co-worker Yolanda in the series that follows Illeana Douglas, playing herself, as she leaves Hollywood to live a "normal" life working at her local IKEA. She can't leave the bright lights of Hollywood behind and soon is hosting a talk show called "This Side Up" from IKEA. Read more...

Illeana starts her talk show "This Side Up" live from IKEA and gets some unexpected career advise from her first guest. Howard Friske has a show stopper of his own, and although Illeana knows that "love doesn't come with instructions" she may have finally put it all together here at IKEA.

Kate Micucci is one half of the popular comedy musical duo Garfunkel and Oates. None of her song picks feature the instrument she is famous for – the ukulele -- but her trademark humor is fully intact. She shares sad songs that make her happy, retro sounding soul that makes her dance and a Harry Nilsson classic. Read more...

As part of the duo, Micucci is well known on the West Coast for shows at the Steve Allen Theater and if you're a Scrubs fan, she was goofy lawyer Ted's girlfriend, Stephanie Gooch, this season. You can see her around town playing her ukulele or on the beach building sand sculptures (they're quite spectacular). I'm pleased to sit down and talk (via email) with Kate "Oates" Micucci.

Certain influences are readily apparent in Kate MiCucci’s show “Playing With MiCucci,” seen July 24 in the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival. Take a heavy helping of Maria Bamford, a light sprinkling of Steve Martin’s 1970s comedic banjo songs and Kimya Dawson’s songs for “Juno,” give more than a nod to Mister Rogers, and garnish liberally with Pee Wee Herman’s “Playhouse,” and you might get something like what MiCucci’s put together. This is said with admiration, not criticism, though. Read more...
